SYDNEY - Leo Burnett Sydney has hired Andy DiLallo (pictured right) and Jay Benjamin (pictured left) from JWT as executive creative directors. They replace Mark Collis, who shifted to Ogilvy & Mather Japan.

After a five-month global talent search, the duo will complete the agency’s senior management line-up, following the recruitment of Scott Davis as head of strategy and Josh Grace as head of direct marketing.

Todd Sampson, chief executive of Leo Burnett Sydney, said: “I hired Andy and Jay because I think they are the best, and will lift an already high bar of creativity. This year, Leo Burnett will be one of the top creative agencies in the world.”

Mark Tutssel, Leo Burnett’s worldwide creative director, added: "Andy and Jay have a proven ability to generate big ideas time and time again. With Todd Sampson we now have a dynamic, new, creative management team in place, with the talent to take full advantage of the infinite creative opportunities that face our industry."
